Healthcare
Voters of Parkes Electorate: You people amaze me. As our healthcare system heads towards Third World standards in country towns, I say to the voters “You deserve what you get.” In the past 11 years, healthcare services have declined dramatically in Australia. The Liberal Party and the National Party - who are promising to spend up big on healthcare - are the same people who took it away in the first place. Astonishing! What a hide! John Howard must think we have lost our memories. He breaks the Ninth Commandment: “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” But we cannot blame John Howard for being a liar. That’s his nature. But you must take responsibility for the situation. You voted for him and the Nationals who have supported him and collaborated in the attack on healthcare in the bush. And you’ll do it again. Madness!

our healthcare is heading in a very poor direction. that's why i'm working to support AARP who are working to get Congress to make Medicare available to the people who cannot afford it. you should check out their website at http://www.thisissoridiculous.com and sign their online petition and make your voice heard! you can also view videos, email Congress, and make donations on the site!

I'm very interested in what the Climate Change Coalition has to offer. I've been watching the web site and feel they have some great ideas about important issues.
I must say however that I'm a bit dissapointed about this blog, which was also published in our local paper. Do you think it's a good idea to aggressively point the finger at voters? They may have voted the current govt in - but it was most certainly without the deliberate intention of achieving a poor health system or a bad response to climate change. Perhaps it would have been better to take the time to reassure people that we still have the ability to make a better Australia and world. One of the most reassuring things I've ever heard was Al Gore saying that we already have everything we need to fix the problem. We just need the positive action and attitude to make it work. That's what we need from you Mr Kiely, someone who is strong, positive and reassuring. Not a lecture from a school teacher style figure.
